Shot on location in San Francisco and starring Lee J. Cobb, John Dall and Jane Wyatt, The man who cheated himself tells the story of a policeman who pushes the boundaries of the law by covering up a crime committed by his lover. He then finds himself assigned to investigate that very same crime, along with a new rookie partner who is determined to track down the culprit.
The film is also available elsewhere on the archive, as a 2.2GB MPEG2 or on a 7.3GB ISO DVD image. The smaller file offered here is intended to make the film more accessible to people otherwise discouraged by larger versions.
Both the XViD/AVI file offered here and the MPEG2 mentioned above seem derived from the exact same print and show the same artifacts, except for the fact that the XViD is a progressive (24fps) transfer while the MPEG2 is a telecined (30fps) transfer. Since the film wasn't well-preserved, the artifacts unfortunately include missing frames, white dots, blinking vertical lines and low crackling/scratching sounds.

Very good movie will go well with popcorn
Very nice location San Francisco shots at North Beach, Fisherman's Wharf, from LaFayette Park, and the Golden Gate Bridge and at Fort Point.
Decent if predictable story with good acting.

If You Haven't Seen It, See It
Great location work adds to this period piece. See if they can catch a cop on the run in San Francisco.
